Hey Everybody – Happy Friday Follies to my favorite people anywhere.  I hope you’ve all been healthy and happy since last Friday.

Not only did “Small Town” move from #54 to #16 this month on the Cashbox Indie Chart, it is also #55 on the Cashbox Mainstream Chart which we forgot to mention last week!  You can stream it everywhere including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Pandora.  Thank you Team Fargo for requesting “Small Town” on your local radio stations and also for streaming it!  Keep it up and let’s share, share, share!  And don’t forget to include “Small Town” on your playlist!

I had the best time talking to Rich Renik yesterday, November 5th.  He’s a veteran radio guy with 50 plus years experience having spent 13 years at the great WMAQ, one of country music’s finest stations, and now hosts A Rich Conversation on WJOL 1340 am in Joliet, Illinois.  He features interviews with entertainers and interesting personalities.  He is so knowledgeable with his background in country music radio.  His interview style is conversational.  His name is not just rich; his radio voice is rich and he’s the ultimate interviewer.  He does his homework, and to say it was a pleasure talking to him is quite an understatement.  I just loved our get-together, and I was so happy to visit with such an outstanding representative in radio.  Thank you, Rich, for having me on your show and for being so nice to me.  It was such a joy getting to know you.

We’ll let all of our Friday Followers know when and where to listen as soon as we know.  Love you guys and can’t wait ‘til we talk again like next Friday, of course.

In the meantime, stay safe, healthy and happy.

Love,

Donna

P.S.  It’s fall clean-up time!  There’s always a lot of landscaping work to be done this time of year, so we picked a beautiful Saturday and got it done!   Thank you Rick for all your hard work and wonderful help.  We had a little fun too, what else can you do on a “Small Town Hillbilly Good-Time Saturday Night,” but have fun!

P.S.S.  I want to thank Kevin John Coyne at Country Universe for the review of “You Were Always There.”  He’s featuring all the #1 songs of the 70s.  It was a very well written and thoughtful article.  Thank you Kevin!

P.S.S.S.  Brenda said that Kenny Walsh at Phantom Country on KLEE Radio in Canada will be adding my music to his rotation on Sunday from 4 pm – 6 pm.  You can listen here…. https://onlineradiobox.com/ca/klee/   He’s also planning to debut “Small Town” on his program in a couple weeks!  Hot Diggity Dog!  Thank you Kenny!
